A Natural Home

My friend Gretchen asked me to take photos of her daughter’s doll Flat Stanley in the area.  So we took photos of him at the store on an organic sofa, and on an organic bed.

It was cold outside, a high of 15, so I was not overly enthusatic about taking photos outside.  Turtle one of my twin boys was with me and he said he wanted to stand with stanley in front of Eli’s barn.  So we both stood outside and took photos of this silly little fat doll on an Amish farm.

Then we took a photo of Stanley in front of Eli’s house. He has a big house, so we just put him on the front steps.  Frankly you can barely see him, but in order to get the house in the photo I had to shoot back in the scene.

Eli thought it was a little odd that I had a paper doll and I was taking photos of it.  Then I told him about the story that Stanley was traveling the country on an adventure and Kallie a 6 year old little girl was very excited about him visiting the Amish families.

Of course I could not take any photos of an Amish family with the doll, although that would have been interesting.

I am going to take a photo of Stanley on top of a mattress machine today and maybe with an Amish hat or bonnet next to him.

If I had the time I might have asked if one of the Amish kids could have held stanley and I could have taken a photo of an AMish girl or boy.  However I did not have the time to talk about the school project with on of the families, other than Eli and his son had already gone inside.
